Why this area is so special
Amelia Island is uniquely situated. Almost totally surrounded by miles and miles of preserved lands. Cumberland Island National Seashore to the north, Fort Clinch and Amelia Island State Parks on either end. The Egan's Creek Greenway nestled in the middle. And to the south Big & Little Talbot Islands and Ft. George State Parks along with the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. All that is just minutes away. A bit over an hour drive will put you in the Okefenokee Swamp or Osceola National Forest.
and don't forget
Amelia Island has wonderful restaurants and accommodations to return to after your adventure.
